How to find ‘The One’

There are a number of reasons why people join online dating dates – whether it’s to few fun dates with a like-minded person, or to meet the person who they wish to marry. If you’re looking for a serious relationship and dream of settling down with the person who is the salt to your pepper or your virtual partner in crime, here are some tips…

Find your niche

If you’re looking to meet the love of your life online, you need to find a dating website which caters to your lifestyle. For example, Muddy Matches is designed for people who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle, whereas there are websites that cater for people with specific dietary needs or jobs.

Be honest

You may think that a few white lies here and there can’t cause any harm, but it’s not the best start to a relationship. Try to be as honest as possible in your dating profile – no sneaky exaggerations.

Be clear about what you want

If you’re looking to meet someone who loves horses as much as you do, or who understands just how important it is to listen to the extended weather forecast, you should let people know about it in your profile text.

Move away from your ‘type’

If you only usually go for tall men, or blonde women, now’s the time to be more flexible. Mr Right or Mrs Right might not come in the package that you expect them to come in, but it won’t make them any less amazing when you find your perfect match.

Meet in person

If you like someone, don’t wait too long to meet in person so that you can see if the attraction grows when you meet in person. Just make sure that you meet in a safe public place.
